Yes, they are exactly the same in usage. The differences are (1) slightly different look, (2) VERY different price!

I think it can handle boiling temperatures as I use it to filter the soy milk freshly made from the soymilk maker which heats the milk up to boiling temperature. I am not sure how well it will hold up if you were to keep the bag in the pot while it is boiling.

Yes. With the strong, crimped seal that you get with the VacUpac Elite boiling in that bag is ok to do.

Yes--I probably wouldn't put boiling water in it, but we used warmed water in it a couple of times when we needed/wanted hotter water.

I don't think it could handle boiling water. It doesn't mention water temperature in the enclosed instructions one way or the other. But it's specifically meant for outdoor use on a hose bib, so that would obviously exclude boiling water. I could imagine that warm water would be fine, but it's an all plastic construction, I would be very surprised if this would withstand actually boiling water.

Yes, you can but Depends on the temperature of your waterI always put hot water in the bottle, it can keep boiling hot for long time. little sip is fine.Lid is normal, but you can store some tea inside the lid. but it wont help make tea

Yes it will boil water. You may use it as skillet but the surface of it is not flat.

I don't see why you couldn't do that. It just means your bag gets smaller and smaller, since you have to cut off one of the sealed ends each time. I use it for cheese, make sure the bag is extra long, and then just keep resealing it each time I have to open it. I've never tried washing it and reusing it, since I use mine mostly for raw meats.

Yes, I can boil a box of pasta in there. I feel like it's plenty of water to adequately boil pasta. We are a family of 4 and we use this pot for everything. I have one for sauce and one for pasta.

These ice bags can be filled with both hot and cold water. Do not add boiling water, but water as hot as the tap will allow will work. Do not place your bags in the freezer or microwave as this will damage them.

No. You could microwave the water then pour it in, I just use a tea kettle on the stove. Doesn't even have to be boiling.

No, it will not boil water. You could make tea/instant whatever with it as it gets plenty hot, but not boiling.

On my gas stove my pot gets a rolling boil when I make soup and use medium to low heat. So I think you should be able to easily boil water in it. I still love my pot and use it even when making relatively small amounts of food.

I didn't try but I think you couldn't. You can just pour in it boiled tea (as I use it and then pour tea into small cups for example when I meeting guests) or just put some tea leaves in it and pour boiling water.

I boil in bag a lot and have never had a failure with Weston bags. I use all three sizes for pre cooked foods as well as parboiled veggies, and wild game. All heat by boiling very well........As for BPA, I have no information

Personally, I would not put anything that heavy in the bag; Plus, knowing that salt can burn holes in things I'd be afraid that the salt would leech chemicals from the plastic and w/your food soaking in that mixture. I believe that they make special poultry bags for this type of food prep.
